I am going to talk about a quilt I just recently blogged about.
It is a dolly quilt that I made with 2 of my friends for another friend that was having a baby girl.
You can read all about the quilt here.
One of my co workers was expecting a baby girl.
I was using these dolls for heads and tails projects and
brought the dolls into the lab to show my 2 quilting friends.
They went absolutely crazy for them!
So it was decided that we would each make a certain number of them and I would put the quilt together.
Of course we all made more than we were supposed to
so we laid them all out and chose from what we had made for the quilt.

We each made dolls that represented ourselves too.
Here is Judith's.
She loves insects.

Robin's was made with Robin fabric

Mine had creepy bunnies.
I love creepy things and I work with and love bunnies too.

We made an "I spy" type of border using fabric from our three stashes for it.
We each had to make a certain number of the squares so
we got a nice variety and not one single print was duplicated!

We all work at U of M but you know I could not resist putting in my Spartan "S"!!

Our other friend Liz, did the quilting and she did a fabulous job!
Every girl was outlined, flowers in the open blocks and in the border.

I love everything about this quilt and can't wait to make another one!
The last thing to do was make the label and I thought a heart was a good choice.

As I am sitting in the hospital watching my dad sleep I am writing this post. Dad had a fall on Friday and broke his femur. The break is pretty high up, near the anchor of the ball joint part of his hip replacement. I thought he was going for surgery on Saturday but the ortho doc wanted to try a brace first. If the bone can be stabaluzed and begin to heal on its own we may be able to avoid surgery. Please keep us in your prayers.

I did manage to choose a winner. Lucky number 4 Judy in Mich. Not sure how to copy what she said as I am typing on my phone lol
